Igbo community association · Brisbane, Queensland
Family, even far from home.
Since 2003, Nwannedinamba Queensland has brought ndi Igbo and friends together to keep our language, food, music and traditions alive for the next generation.
Who we are
A home for ndi Igbo in Queensland
Nwannedinamba Queensland was formed on 13 September 2003 by Igbo families who wanted a place to keep their culture and to come together in fellowship, far from home.
Today we are a not-for-profit association for Igbo people across Queensland, their families, and anyone who wants to share in Igbo culture. We celebrate together, support each other through life’s milestones, and make sure our children grow up knowing where they come from.
What we do
Culture you can feel, people you can call on
From the annual New Yam Festival to quiet support when a member loses a loved one, our work comes down to four things.
- 01
Celebrate our culture
Iri Ji (the New Yam Festival), masquerade performances, traditional music and dance, and Igbo cooking, shared with the wider Queensland community.
- 02
Fellowship and support
Regular gatherings where members connect, plus practical and emotional support through weddings, births, illness and bereavement.
- 03
Pass it on to our children
Helping Australian-born children learn Igbo language, proverbs, values and customs, so they grow up proud of their heritage.
- 04
Grow together
Networking, mentoring and help for new arrivals settling into life in Queensland, from study and work to finding a home.
“Idi n’otu bụ ike.”
